Market
Information
Our
common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol “SCTC”. Trading in stocks quoted on the OTCQB is often thin and is characterized
by wide fluctuations in trading prices due to many factors that may be unrelated to a company’s operations or business prospects.
We cannot assure you that there will be a market in the future for our common stock.
OTCQB
securities are not listed or traded on the floor of an organized national or regional stock exchange. Instead, OTCQB securities transactions
are conducted through a telephone and computer network connecting dealers in stocks. OTCQB issuers are traditionally smaller companies
that do not meet the financial and other listing requirements of a regional or national stock exchange.
Holders
On
August 9, 2021, we effected a one-for-nine reverse stock split of our common stock pursuant to which holders of our common stock received
one share of our common stock for every nine shares of common stock held. Unless the context expressly dictates otherwise, all references
to share and per share amounts referred in this Annual Report on Form 10-K reflect the reverse stock split.
As
of December 31, 2021, there were 40 stockholders of record of our common stock and 7,121,737 shares of our common stock outstanding.
The number of stockholders of record does not include beneficial owners of our common stock, whose shares are held in “street name”
in the names of various brokers, dealers, clearing agencies, banks, and other fiduciaries.
Dividends
We
have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our common stock. We currently intend to retain future earnings, if any, to increase
our working capital and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.
Equity
Compensation Plan Information
2020
Share Incentive Plan
We
have adopted the 2020 Share Incentive Plan, or the 2020 Plan, under which we may grant equity-based incentive awards to attract, motivate,
and retain the talent for which we compete.
Authorized
Shares . The maximum number of ordinary shares available for issuance under the 2020 Plan is equal to the sum of 1,824,717 shares,
or such number as our board of directors may determine from time to time.
Administration.
Our board of directors, or a duly authorized committee of our board of directors, will administer the 2020 Plan. Under the 2020 Plan,
the administrator has the authority, subject to applicable law, to interpret the terms of the 2020 Plan and any award agreements or awards
granted thereunder, designate recipients of awards, determine and amend the terms of awards, including the exercise price of an option
award, the fair market value of an ordinary share, the time and vesting schedule applicable to an award or the method of payment for
an award, accelerate or amend the vesting schedule applicable to an award, prescribe the forms of agreement for use under the 2020 Plan,
and take all other actions and make all other determinations necessary for the administration of the 2020 Plan.
The
administrator also has the authority to amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the 2020 Plan or terminate the 2020 Plan
at any time before the date of expiration of its ten year term.
Eligibility.
The 2020 Plan provides for granting awards under various tax regimes, including, without limitation, in compliance with Section 102
of the Israeli Income Tax Ordinance (New Version), 5721-1961 (the “Ordinance”), and Section 3(i) of the Ordinance and for
awards granted to our United States employees or service providers, including those who are deemed to be residents of the United States
for tax purposes, Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) and Section 409A of the Code.
28
Section
102 of the Ordinance allows employees, directors, and officers who are not controlling shareholders and are considered Israeli residents
to receive favorable tax treatment for compensation in the form of shares or options. Our non-employee service providers and controlling
shareholders may only be granted options under section 3(i) of the Ordinance, which does not provide for similar tax benefits.
Grant.
All awards granted pursuant to the 2020 Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement, in a form approved, from time to time, by the
administrator in its sole discretion. The award agreement will set forth the terms and conditions of the award, including the type of
award, number of shares subject to such award, vesting schedule and conditions (including performance goals or measures), and the exercise
price, if applicable. Certain awards under the 2020 Plan may constitute or provide for a deferral of compensation, subject to Section
409A of the Code, which may impose additional requirements on the terms and conditions of such awards.
Each
award will expire seven years from the date of the grant thereof, unless such shorter term of expiration is otherwise designated by the
administrator.
Awards.
The 2020 Plan provides for the grant of stock options (including incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options), shares
of common stock, restricted shares, restricted share units, and other share-based awards.
Options
granted under the 2020 Plan to our employees who are U.S. residents may qualify as “incentive stock options” within the meaning
of Section 422 of the Code, or may be non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of a stock option may not be less than 100% of
the fair market value of the underlying share on the date of grant (or 110% in the case of ISOs granted to certain significant stockholders).
Exercise.
An award under the 2020 Plan may be exercised by providing the company with a written or electronic notice of exercise and full payment
of the exercise price for such shares underlying the award, if applicable, in such form and method as may be determined by the administrator
and permitted by applicable law. An award may not be exercised for a fraction of a share. With regard to tax withholding, exercise price,
and purchase price obligations arising in connection with awards under the 2020 Plan, the administrator may, in its discretion, accept
cash, provide for net withholding of shares in a cashless exercise mechanism, or direct a securities broker to sell shares and deliver
all or a part of the proceeds to the Company or the trustee.
Transferability.
Other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution, or as otherwise provided under the 2020 Plan, neither the options nor any
right in connection with such options are assignable or transferable.
Termination
of Employment. In the event of termination of a grantee’s employment or service with the company or any of its affiliates,
all vested and exercisable awards held by such grantee as of the date of termination may be exercised within three months after such
date of termination, unless otherwise determined by the administrator. After such three month period, all such unexercised awards will
terminate and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
In
the event of termination of a grantee’s employment or service with the company or any of its affiliates due to such grantee’s
death, permanent disability, or retirement, all vested and exercisable awards held by such grantee as of the date of termination may
be exercised by the grantee or the grantee’s legal guardian, estate, or by a person who acquired the right to exercise the award
by bequest or inheritance, as applicable, within twelve months after such date of termination, unless otherwise provided by the administrator.
Any awards which are unvested as of the date of such termination or which are vested but not then exercised within the twelve month period
following such date, will terminate and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Notwithstanding
any of the foregoing, if a grantee’s employment or services with the company or any of its affiliates is terminated for “cause”
(as defined in the 2020 Plan), all outstanding awards held by such grantee (whether vested or unvested) will terminate on the date of
such termination and the shares covered by such awards shall again be available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
29
Transactions.
In the event of a share split, reverse share split, share dividend, recapitalization, combination, or reclassification of our shares,
or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares effected without receipt of consideration by the company (but not including
the conversion of any convertible securities of the company), the administrator in its sole discretion shall make an appropriate adjustment
in the number of shares related to each outstanding award and to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan, to the
class and kind of shares subject to the 2020 Plan, as well as the exercise price per share of each outstanding award, as applicable,
the terms and conditions concerning vesting and exercisability, and the term and duration of outstanding awards, or any other terms that
the administrator adjusts in its discretion, or the type or class of security, asset, or right underlying the award (which need not be
only that of the Company, and may be that of the surviving corporation or any affiliate thereof or such other entity party to any of
the above transactions); provided that any fractional shares resulting from such adjustment shall be rounded down to the nearest whole
share unless otherwise determined by the administrator. In the event of a distribution of a cash dividend to all shareholders, the administrator
may determine, without the consent of any holder of an award, that the exercise price of an outstanding and unexercised award shall be
reduced by an amount equal to the per share gross dividend amount distributed by the Company, subject to applicable law.
In
the event of a merger or consolidation of our company, or a sale of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s shares or assets,
or other transaction having a similar effect on the Company, or change in the composition of the board of directors, or liquidation or
dissolution, or such other transaction or circumstances that the board of directors determines to be a relevant transaction, then without
the consent of the grantee, the administrator may but is not required to (i) cause any outstanding award to be assumed or substituted
by such successor corporation, or (ii) regardless of whether or not the successor corporation assumes or substitutes the award (a) provide
the grantee with the option to exercise the award as to all or part of the shares, and may provide for an acceleration of vesting of
unvested awards, or (b) cancel the award and pay in cash, shares of the company, the acquirer, or other corporation which is a party
to such transaction, or other property as determined by the administrator as fair in the circumstances. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the administrator may upon such event amend, modify, or terminate the terms of any award as it shall deem, in good faith, appropriate.
Recent
Sales of Unregistered Securities
On
March 29, 2021, the Company issued 2,469,156 units to certain investors in consideration of $20 million. Each such unit consisted of
(i) one share of the Company’s common stock and (ii) one warrant to purchase one share of common stock with an exercise price of
$10.35 per share (the “March Warrant” and the “Exercise Price”). Each March Warrant is exercisable until the
close of business on March 31, 2026. Pursuant to the terms of the March Warrants, following April 1, 2024, if the closing price of the
common stock equal or exceeds 135% of the Exercise Price (subject to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, stock
combinations and other similar transactions after the issue date of the March Warrants) for any thirty (30) consecutive trading days,
the Company may force the exercise of the March Warrants, in whole or in part, by delivering to these investors a notice of forced exercise.
